Contemporary Art from India at Jonathan Smart Gallery

12 February, 2015

In April 2014, Jonathan Smart took an exhibition to Mumbai. These works, shown at Chatterjee & Lal, constituted a snapshot of the Jonathan Smart Gallery program. As part of this exchange, Chatterjee & Lal have curated an exhibition of contemporary Indian art, opening here at Jonathan Smart Gallery on Friday 13 February, 2015.

The artists included in the present exhibition are some of the most interesting to have emerged from the Indian contemporary scene over the past decade. The mastermind behind the exhibition is Sanjay Theodore, an artist who has worked in New Zealand, America and India during a career that spans nearly two decades. With his site-specific installation functioning as an anchor to the show, other exhibits include video works by Bangalore-based Kiran Subbaiah and UK born Hetain Patel, photography by well-known author Rana Dasgupta and the young emerging artist Sahej Rahal, along with works on paper by Minam Apang and Gagan Singh.
